I have been working with patients in hospitals for a number of years in a program with wireless monitors worn by patients.The monitor for all vital signs is worn by patient that enables patient to be mobile and monitored wirelessly at home. This relieves hospitals and saves lives and money.
Interested in other developments in this area.

This is very much needed. With smart phones and robust client-server solutions, and hopefully wearable vital sign monitors, people can be mobile and enjoy a full life while staying safe.

I am very encouraged by the establishment of the Institute and congratulate Gary West in setting it up. I truly believe that it has significant potential for enhancing patient care. There are many new innovations which can be brought to patients and providers alike which will reduce costs and increase quality of care. As an expert in healthcare IT, I share very much the vision and want to assist in any way that I can.

I applaud the Wireless Health Institute’s formation. My view of wirelss is based upon the increasing adoption of enterprise wireless infrastructure within healthcare organizations as the communication backbone for data and voice solutions which will lead to better patient outcomes.
